The shite that you have to deal with is terrible. I really wish you the best.

My sister also has it. She uses an insulin pump which has changed her life. He is a Nurse by profession. She finds it ironic that she often has to care for people who have less medical issues that she suffers from.

I was blessed and it missed me.

it is funny, I'm applying to medical schools now

Once you get it down to a routine, it really isn't all that bad. Pain in the arse for sure but there are worse things out there for sure as well

That is sad to hear. Like many others here I am a Type 1 also, diagnosed at 20, 28 years old now. I've never had my BS go that low, never had to go to the hospital for it accept for when I was diagnosed. I use a Medtronic pump and have always had good control but slacked off early this year and my A1C got up to 7.2 so I started wearing the In-Lite Sensor and really like it. A1C has come back down to around 6.7. I would definitely recommend a sensor for your Dad if he is not able to feel his low's in time. Good luck!
